Letter
William H Seward to Charles F. Adams, January 14, 1864
Mr. Seward to Mr. Adams.
No. 814.]
Department of State, Washington, January 14, 1864.
Sir: I enclose an extract from a despatch of the 17th ultimo (No. 96) from the United States consul at Malta, relative to reports that British naval officers, under assumed names, are engaged in violating the blockade of ports yet held by the insurgents. The same information reaches us from other quarters. Although it is possibly exaggerated, it would be well for you to suggest whether an inquiry could not be made into the matter.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
Charles F. Adams, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
